It was on this date in 1942 that one of Canada’s greatest parliamentary performers, R.B. Bennett, took to his feet for the first time as a member of the House of Lords at Westminster. His service in that historic chamber meant he now held a unique parliamentary. Bennett had now been a member of the Legislature of the Northwest Territories, the Alberta Legislature, the House of Commons, and now the House of Lords in London. Bennett was elevated to the Lords on the advice of UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and served with distinction there as the Viscount Bennett of Mickleham, Calgary and Hopewell, until his death in 1947.

The Stars enter their bye week and All-Star Break in about as good of a position as they could have imagined. In their 12 games that had gone past 60 minutes before Friday, the Stars had lost nine of them. It was his second goal of the game. They proceeded to dominate the rest of the first period, adding a second goal from Roope Hintz on a 5-on-3 power play. In overtime, all they needed was one faceoff win to get Hughes the puck and the winning goal.

With a diameter of 1 to 2km, space rock named 2022 AP7 crosses our orbit but has ‘no chance’ of hitting EarthAstronomers say they have discovered the largest planet killer-sized asteroid in eight years, and that the huge space rock will cross Earth’s orbit. The asteroid, named 2022 AP7, was reported by researchers looking for space rocks within the orbits of Earth and Venus. With a diameter of about 1.1km to 2.3km, the team say 2022 AP7 is the largest PHA discovered since 2014 and probably in the top 5% of the largest ever found. While the finding of 2022 AP7 may bring to mind visions of the asteroid Armageddon depicted in the film Don’t Look Up, the study also offers reassurance. Tate said an approach like Dart might not be suitable for 2022 AP7, given the size of the asteroid, but there were other possible methods.

One day after the police announced they were increasing their presence on Toronto’s transit with 80 officers, many riders on the busiest TTC lines said they hadn’t noticed much of a difference. Damira Pan, a transit user, said she has witnessed violence on transit in the past, and having extra officers at subway stations made her feel safer. Seungbin Yoo, another commuter, said a visible police presence on transit could prevent violence, including potential hate crimes. Jaime Wilson, a transit rider, said having more police in the system doesn’t help address potential underlying causes of violence, including homelessness and mental health issues. There’s been a 20 per cent increase in TTC violence over the past year.

“Speaking with (executives) at some of these credit unions, the message is that they’ve seen considerable growth in products like contract-rate qualification mortgages,” McLister said. In 2012, the federal government paved the way for credit unions to expand beyond provincial borders to become federal financial institutions, but there was very little uptake. “We offer contract-rate qualification mortgages in some instances,” said Teresa Pagnutti, senior manager of public relations at the St. Catharines, Ont.-based Meridian. The credit unions’ gains were achieved even as the number of homes bought and sold was falling. “Only a small percentage (of credit unions that offer them) promote contract-rate qualifying publicly or to third parties” such as brokers, McLister said.

Alberta Justice spokespeople deliver duelling statements on prosecutor email reviewEDMONTON — An email probe into whether Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office interfered with Crown prosecutors took a confusing turn Friday after two government spokespeople delivered duelling statements that raised questions over how far back the search went. The Justice Department said Monday it had done a four-month search of ingoing, outgoing and deleted emails and found no evidence of contact. Two days later, Alberta Justice communications director Charles Mainville said in a statement that deleted emails are wiped from the system after 30 days, meaning the search for deleted emails may not have covered the entire time period in question. Smith has given six versions in recent weeks of what she has said to justice officials about COVID-19 cases. She has said she reminded justice officials of general prosecution guidelines, but at other times reminded them to consider factors unique to COVID-19 cases.

Smith and any of the supposedly aggrieved parties she mentioned in her press release are free to sue the CBC and its reporters for defamation. The information uncovered would clearly be of significant benefit to the Alberta public. The release concluded: “All communications between the Premier, her staff, the Minister of Justice and Ministry of Justice public servants have been appropriate and made through the proper channels. They mean even less when they are conveyed in the form of an angry government press release. And unlike some news organizations, I doubt the CBC will have much trouble corroborating its sources’ claims.

‘We must meet this moment’: Trudeau says in speech to Liberal caucusOTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on his Liberal caucus to meet the moment on Friday, as Canadians deal with the high cost of living, a struggling health-care system and the effects of climate change. In a 12-minute speech to MPs, Trudeau laid out the minority government's priorities for the coming sitting of the House of Commons, which begins on Monday. And as Liberals and as Canadians and as a country, we must meet it," Trudeau said. Most of his speech was focused on the economy, with Trudeau positioning the growth of green technology as a legacy that will benefit future generations. "Let’s build a Canada where people thrive, and where future generations will directly benefit from us to have chosen to meet this moment."
